Heroin Bag

Neutral Milk Hotel

It's come and gone
It's a million miles away
That dress she wore
Is all that shall remain
In a clear blue sky
That turns in my memory
But now you find
That things ain't coming
And remain unchanged
Don't push me too far
You won't get anywhere like that
They're going to dry you up
And drown you deep inside
The heroin bag

And it's come and gone
And it's never coming home
Pushed too far
And then you break the tones
And a clear blue sky
Turns in my memory
And now you find
That things ain't coming
They leave you alone
Don't push me too far
You'll never get anywhere like that
They're going to dry you up
And drown you deep inside
The heroin bag

So long now
There's not a flower left in you
It's just your eyes
And now they're made of stone
And a clear blue sky
It turns in my memory
But then you get it on, get it on
And it's right on you own
But don't push me too far
You'll never get anywhere like that
They're going to dry you up
And drown you deep inside
The heroin bag

    i don't see how these are possibly 'bad' lyrics. it's an early song, one can agree there might not be as much style as later recordings, but it's still very jeff.

    i think it's beautiful, the last verse specifically sounds very mangum-esque.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
